I have setup virtualclone on MP because I have many movies in ISOs. I also have a DVD player on the system but when I pop in a DVD disc and go to 'DVD' in MePo it says 'please insert disc'. Any ideas?

    Logs?
    So, if you mount an ISO and then "play disc" does that work? In other words, could that shortcut be looking at your virtual drive?

    that could be the case. My virtualclone drive is F: for example and my physical is E:. I am using the titan skin so I just 'pick' from the titan editor what menu items appear on my home screen. How do I see what drive the shortcut tries to launch?

    Trial and error. :)
    I had a look at MP configuration when I first responded and I couldn't see any configuration for this, so I don't know how it works.

    same here. The only thing I can see is where you specify what drive letter the virtual clone drive is represented by. But to do that you have to enable 'export mode' and navigate to the subelements of the 'DVD' configuration node.

    Hi. I was probably being a bit fast and loose with my terminology. I meant "somewhere within the files that MP2 uses in its database". Anyway, I found a way to do this which was far from automated but relatively low effort. I found what looked like all the images (CD covers, DVD covers, backgrounds etc all lumped together in...

    I have also had this problem in the past. There are two components to this problem: Your internet router is pinging the HTPC at regular intervals in order to see if the HTPC is still present on the network. The network adapter in the HTPC has "Wake on Lan" enabled. So at the end of a recording, the HTPC transitions from away mode to...

    I don't know about MP2 but as you said you tried MP1 too, how is the MP music config ? MP(1) will only use LAV if you select "Internal DirectShow player" as music output, but then you lose gapless playback. If you you don't have multichannel music you can choose WASAPI as the output and set the number of speakers to stereo. I have...

    After many hours of troubleshooting I've given up and accepted that it's just "one of these things" when using madVR for watching live TV. I've now ticked the box to "Use EVR for LiveTV", with a default display refresh rate of 50Hz. In combination with tweaking some of the Nvidia 3D settings for the MP executable only, I now have a...
